That's such a poor argument. An individual's commendable actions don't exist in a vacuum. To say that AMOM is worthy of a commendation because his commendable actions somehow exist outside of his involvement in the NPO and the recent imbroglio in Lazarus is illogical. That's like saying "it's completely unreasonable to punish this man for stealing! He's written some excellent books!" Please.
Belschaft's argument also contradicts what occurred with "Repeal "Commend Sedgistan"".
You know, the proposal co-authored by A Mean Old Man.
Also coincidentally, the proposal that Belschaft vote for.Ballotonia wrote:The precedent has now been set that repeals exist not just to retract medals awarded in error, but also to take a medal away when the recipient's current behavior is no longer exemplary towards the community which granted the award. C&C's do not serve as 'dead' written history, but are a live record which can be re-evaluated and rewritten as deemed necessary.
Opinions can change over time. There are many positions I held four years ago that I no longer adhere to.
I maintain that AMOM is a fantastic player with a long and interesting history in NS, and earned his commendation. Repealing it is a petty act of spite intended to make people feel less impotent.
